In the Spring of 1997, a remarkable group of social psychologists
came together at Yosemite National Park to reflect upon the field
which they have been so instrumental in creating. This edited
collection brings together the reflections of the nine scholars who
spoke at the Yosemite conference that day and marks the 100th
anniversary of Tripplet's seminal study of bicycle racers--an
experiment which has often been cited as the beginning of modern
experimental social psychology. The contributors: Elliot Aronson,
Leonard Berkowitz, Morton Deutsch, Harold Gerard, Harold Kelley,
Albert Pepitone, Bertram Raven, Robert Zajonc, and Philip Zimbardo
have not only observed the development of this burgeoning
discipline, collectively, they have played an essential role in
crafting its young legacy.The book begins with personal histories
of the researchers. Being that these personal histories are, in
fact, closely connected to the most significant people,
laboratories and conceptual trends of the field, these
reminiscences are much more than simply histories of the course of
particular individuals' lives; they are at the same time histories
of the discipline itself. Subsequent chapters turn to the field's
historical roots: its origins, course of theories, methods, and
approaches. But all chapters share a common theme: an examination
of the ways that the lives and experiences of social psychology's
most prominent living scholars have helped to shape the history of
the field itself.
